Hotels With Parking in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan

Although the hotel is a bit old, it's very well-maintained. We booked a 10-tatami mat room, which was spacious enough for three people, and the ocean-facing view was beautiful. Both the Kaiseki dinner and the set-menu breakfast exceeded our expectations – absolutely delicious! The service, as always, was impeccable, nothing to fault. The indoor hot spring was quite large, and the outdoor one was also good. We got a fantastic deal, which made it even more worthwhile. A truly unforgettable memory. Thank you!

This hotel is absolutely fantastic. ● Upon check-in, there's a Chinese-speaking guide (a Chinese-speaking staff member introduces everything about the hotel). ● The hotel offers two types of yukata, and for one of them, you can choose your preferred pattern. ● The hotel provides complimentary limited-time plum juice, snacks, and ramen. ● The hotel offers two types of private onsen services for free. There isn't much difference between them, just the size and shape of the tubs. Each session is 40 minutes, and you can book multiple times on a first-come, first-served basis. ● Besides the private onsens, the hotel also has mixed-gender onsens (with provided bathing attire), a men's onsen, and a women's onsen. ● The hotel offers dining, but it's a bit pricey. You can choose nearby restaurants instead (the picture is of the breakfast I ordered). ● The hotel is close to Senjojiki, Sandanbeki, and Saki-no-yu. If I visit Shirahama again and the price is right, I would definitely stay here again.

The location is not the most central, but it is right next to Wakayama Castle, which is a big plus. In the evening, it’s very pleasant to take a walk around the castle area — quiet, scenic, and relaxing. There are bus stops nearby, making it fairly convenient to get around, though buses do not run very frequently. It’s best to check the schedule on Google Maps in advance. On the ground floor, there is a 24-hour FamilyMart, which is very convenient. There is also a McDonald’s (closes at 8pm) and a few nearby restaurants, so food is not really a concern. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Check-out was quick and hassle-free. Overall, for the price I paid, this hotel exceeded my expectations. I would recommend it to travellers who don’t mind a quieter area and enjoy being close to Wakayama Castle.

The Japanese-style tatami rooms are spacious and comfortable, offering views of the inner bay in a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere. Breakfast and dinner are included, featuring a variety of fresh ingredients. Guests can enjoy a relaxing soak in the onsen (hot spring). The hotel is conveniently located near Kii-Katsuura Station, making transportation easy. Ideal for families and group gatherings.

Having stayed at Granvia Okayama before and been very impressed, I didn't hesitate to choose this hotel again for my trip to Wakayama. The quality and service were consistently excellent, as always. Although the room wasn't huge, it had everything we needed, and there was plenty of space for two people to open two large suitcases without any problems. The hotel's location is also fantastic; an LV store is right downstairs with a good selection of bags, perfect for browsing. During our stay, we even caught a Hokkaido fair at the adjacent mall, which was a delightful bonus. It was super convenient for getting to the Tama Densha, Wakayama Castle, and Kuroshio Market.

We stayed at the Nisshokan and watched the sunrise from our room. This time, we were assigned room 8612, and initially, I thought it might be a bit off-center compared to room 8613, which we had in September and faced directly where the sun rose. However, room 8612 in January also offered a fantastic view, angled perfectly towards the sunrise. The breakfast and dinner were superb. There was a great selection of sake, and I particularly enjoyed the slightly alcoholic (5%) option, which had a nice kick. The ice cream had a rich milky flavor, and the seafood was incredibly fresh. After checking in at 3 PM, we took the direct elevator to Mt. Noroshi outside the mountain lodge. The weather was clear, the temperature was pleasant, and the gentle breeze was refreshing. The room was clean, and the down comforter kept us very warm in winter, so much so that we couldn't even turn on the air conditioning without it becoming too hot. That afternoon, we soaked in the Wasureno-yu (Forget-to-Return Cave), and the next morning, we visited the Genbu-do Cave. In September, after bathing, I had a cold drink and ended up with a sore throat for a few days. This time, I was more careful; after the bath, I had cold Nanko plum juice and ice cream, and thankfully, no sore throat this time!

Facilities: The facilities are comprehensive, with a public bath on the top floor. I arrived back late, so it wasn't crowded when I went for a soak at night. The only downside is that the room is a bit small, not as spacious as the hotels near Wakayama-shi Station. Cleanliness: Quite clean. Service: The service was excellent. We arrived at the hotel in the morning to check in, and even though it was before official check-in time, we left our luggage at the front desk. When we returned in the evening, our luggage had already been sent to our room.

We stayed here the night before we ventured to the Kumano Kodo. It was perfect for this: it’s located right next to the train station which makes arriving by train and leaving by bus quite easy. Also, the restaurants and izakayas are close by so you can have a good evening with your travel companions. The staff was very friendly, the rooms very clean und the breakfast ok. I’d book again!

I came here because of Detective Conan, and the hotel's location is just incredible – facing the sea, absolutely stunning! However, since the hotel is in a small town, taking the bus during peak season can be really inconvenient. You can contact the hotel to arrange a taxi, but most local drivers don't speak English. There are many great places to eat in town, but they tend to close early. The hotel's onsen is very comfortable; soaking in the hot spring while listening to the sea is a wonderful experience. The hotel is also very close to Engetsu Island, where you can watch the sunset 🌄 – it's truly amazing and perfect for photos! The only drawback is that the facilities are a bit old, probably due to its long history!

The main picture is misleading! I couldn't find the hotel after getting off the train. The first attached picture is what it actually looks like! Exit Tottori Station North Exit, and it's diagonally opposite on your left. Look for a large '由' character on the roof; the tall building to its left is the hotel. The front desk was decent, and simple English communication was possible. According to the lobby display, this year marks their 50th anniversary, and both the Emperor and Crown Prince have visited. The rooms are a bit old, but the towels are very new, and the lamps have a classic, old-money vibe. I have to rave about the breakfast coffee! And they even have ice cream. I ended up drinking three cups on the first day 🤣 The breakfast features many Tottori specialties. It's very thoughtfully prepared, and if you buy it with the accommodation, it's not expensive. For three people, two nights for under 2000 RMB, I think it's a great deal. The location is truly excellent! It's right opposite the train station, with many shops and a huge 7-Eleven. The bus station is also directly across the road; the bus to the sand dunes is just 10 meters from the hotel entrance. There's a shopping mall next door. This will be my first choice next time I visit!
